I welcome your input, thanks in advance. The purported GK/KK is front and center (Grand Nain on right). This pic is from mid-July, but it's probably the best I have (I've moved it twice since then, and it is currently leafless and dormant with dry brown husk covering the whole pstem).
Traits I use to distinguish it from my other plants:
-slender p-stem with vibrant lime green coloration
-narrow leaves (maybe half as wide as DC leaves?)

On a separate note, Tog Tan describes/shows the GK/KK fruit as being egg-shaped (hence the name "Kai" which means "egg"), but the Niņos I've seen at grocery stores are skinny, tightly packed fingers that look more like baby Cavendish fruit than like eggs. If Tog Tan's GK/KK is a different variety from Niņo, how closely related do you think they are?
